The early round tubes are totally different in color rendition from today's CRTs. You would NOT want to make an early color tube reproduce images like a modern CRT, the phosphors and construction are completely different. The look of the early round tubes is unique. Besides, if you rebuilt early round CRTs you would not be replacing the phosphors that give that unique color rendition, just the gun assembly. The early sets, when set up properly, have as much "clarity and contrast" as any modern NTSC receiver.
